Introduction
Excellent dinner side dish or snacky salad. I make a large batch and keep it for snacking for a week or longer. Chopping is the most time-consuming part of this recipe.

It will be hard to make this without seeing specific quantities, though it does sound nice. - 1/7/09

if you click on 'Ingredient Details' it will give you specific amounts of everything. but really, with any of the spices you can add them depending on how much you like or dislike them. mine comes out a little different every time. :)
